Answer:
<em>The Minerals Management Service (MMS)</em>
Explanation:
In 2010 Deepwater Horizon project exploded and killed 11 people causing also the largest oil spill in US history.
The MMS was the federal agency responsible for overseeing offshore drilling, however, they had received financial favors (bribes) from oil companies and had a severe conflict of interest, they ignored science and underestimated environmental impacts in order to ensure the speedy approval of oil industry projects among other acts of negligence. The MMS was in part responsible for this event, or at the very least for not handling correctly.
The image shows the Convergent plate boundary.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Convergent boundaries occur wherever the Earth’s tectonic plates move or collide toward each other.
As the plates converge, the denser, thinner tectonic plate sub-ducts or dives beneath the lighter, thicker, more buoyant tectonic plate.
As shown in the picture, the plates are composed of rigid lithosphere consisting of the crust of the earth and the uppermost mantle. Movement of the plates is driven by convection in the asthenosphere and lower mantle, which are softer and warmer than the lithosphere and can flow on geologic timescales. Convection is fuelled by heat generated from radioactive decay of elements in the Earth.
<span>The
causes of environmental problems in Sub-Saharan Africa are deforestation,
development, and increased population. As the country is aiming for development,
its environmental status is impaired. Increasing population resulted to
migration to higher urban or rural areas, and continuous land cultivation which
eventually caused deforestation and dilapidation.</span>
